Operational Instructions (Summary)

1. Power Up: Ensure the constant current driver is correctly set. Upon energizing, the module will reach its stable operating point of approximately 16A and 2V within 2 seconds.

2. Normal Operation: Under proper drive conditions and cooling, the module will deliver 260W of optical power. Monitor case temperature to ensure it remains below 40°C.

3. Cooling is Critical: Active liquid cooling must be active before and during operation. Coolant temperature should be maintained between 15°C and 25°C for optimal performance and lifetime. Operation without adequate cooling will cause immediate and irreversible damage.

4. Environmental Conditions: Operate in an ambient temperature below 40°C. Ensure the module is free from condensation and contaminants.
